Do you think there are space aliens living now on Earth?

Because witness accounts number in the hundreds of thousands globally. In 2009, it was reported that 40 million Americans claimed to have seen a UFO or knew someone who had, and a 1997 poll showed that 5–6% of the US population claimed to have been abducted or had direct contact with aliens.

Zero witness claims have been definitively verified, but some of their stories are very compelling and some have "evidence" such as puncture wounds, radiation burns, etc., depressions in the ground, areas of scorched earth, crappy photos or videos, co-witnesses, being missing for hours or days, and memory loss and memories retrieved through hypnosis.

True or not, it's very intriguing. And, as old and MASSIVE as the universe is, you have to wonder, why wouldn't there be other sentient beings out there, and why wouldn't they be millions of years more advanced than us?
 

Just a few years ago, military people under oath testified before a Congressional Committee; Yes, there are extraterrestrial beings; four different types that we know of, with at least as many different types of ships.

That was a bold statement.

The trouble with that is the govt. can't prove Perjury, no more than if they said the Blessed Mother appeared to them.

The fact that life exists on earth means given the same circumstance life can exist anywhere in the universe. I would bet the farm that we are not alone. That said, I wonder how space aliens can travel the enormous distances between galaxies with the limit of the speed of light. As far as living amongst us, I have a hard time thinking your typical space alien is a Caucasian male, 6 'tall, fluent in English, and a little Spanish & some French.
But it's 2025, maybe in 2525 we'll know for sure.
 
While there are people who claim to see them often, I have yet to meet anyone driving a vehicle in the sky that jumps around ziggedy-zaggedy before flying off at incredible speed. I want to know why they do that.
 
If there are space aliens living on earth, then those "aliens" are probably the species, Homo Sapiens, having come from a more intelligent species and then got lost on earth and forgot their origins. It would be like a human getting lost in a deep African jungle and then never figured out how to get back home.

I would guess that our understanding of physics and the structure of the universe are extremely limited.

Scientists say the universe is 13.8 billion years old, based on measurements from the cosmic microwave background radiation and its expansion rate, and the earth is only 4.54 billion years old, based on evidence from radiometric dating of meteorite material and the oldest rocks, and, based on fossil evidence, modern man has been around for only about 300,000 years.

If there are other inhabitants in the universe, their scientists could have been around millions or even billions of years longer than ours. That's room for a whole lot of discovering and learning and applying.

Although scifi sometimes suggests we homo sapiens are of a different origin than Earth, given DNA and embryology science we now know that is clearly not the case. The incredibly complex sequence of fertilized human female egg cell divisions follows that of other earth creatures that would be virtually impossible given immense number of possible paths, if from another planet. One has to be science ignorant to suggest otherwise.

Maybe they're young pilots doing a little joy-riding. I would, given the opportunity.

Or maybe they're basically saying "Yep, we're a UFO....now go tell somebody and see what happens." ;)

... I think it is extremely unlikely given the vast distances involved. The nearest discovered planet with a slight chance of being habitable is in Proxima Centauri which is about 6,000 years away with our current travel technology. If there were living beings there, we should have been able to pick up radio signals, or signs of civilization. Besides, if any beings could make that trip, they would have to pack a helluva lot of groceries and fuel.

Sure, but since you seem to have an opinion here, or maybe not, is it a contradiction in terms to say, on the one hand, that (of alien life) "... it is extremely unlikely given the vast distances involved" and, on the other hand, to say, "If there were living beings there, we should have been able to pick up radio signals, or signs of civilization" ??
 
I was remembering Art Bell on Coasttocoastam radio from 20 something years ago and decided to check it out. It seems they are running an Art Bell interview this evening from 2/3/93. Somewhere in Time with James S Templar of the international Guild of Occult Sciences on UFOs, magic and demons. Check your local listings.
 
I think there are probably various types of intelligent beings populating various planets in distant galaxies out there, and I assume that some have been around longer and are more advanced than others, and some are young and primitive. I can imagine some are peaceful and benevolent, and some are definitely not, and that there have been interplanetary wars between a number of them.

And from there it isn't a stretch to imagine that some of them are at least a little afraid of us, and some are not in the least. And maybe some have saved our arses a few times and we don't even know it.

One of my favorite novels.

In one of my favorite movies, Signs, aliens whose greatest weakness is contact with water come to earth, a planet that's over 70% water.

Exceptionally poor planning for an advanced civilization.

Sorry, but I don't see any contradiction at all. It's simply saying that I think it's extremely unlikely due to the vast distances, but even if there were aliens there capable of near light speed travel, we should have been able to pick up some sort of signals or other signs, such as might be present in an atmosphere. Perhaps you're reading it wrong?

Ha ha. You sound a bit worried, but surely whatever planet you're from couldn't be more messed up than this one. Besides, we don't have the technology to get you back home anyway, so might as well relax and enjoy the circus.

I've already notified the IRS I'm an alien and not subject to paying taxes. :)

One of my most valued traits, reading things wrong. Maybe we could overcome the 'vast distances' problem by unlocking the mysteries of quantum mechanics. Or maybe by bending space-time via wormhole tunnel, or maybe by waiting for new technologies. what do you think?
And if the vastness of space presents a problem, the near (it seems to us) endlessness of time presents solutions.
